This is the most believable ghost story I have ever read. Set in post WWII England, a young doctor becomes involved with an impoverished upper class family whose once fabulous home is crumbling around them. Eerie and tragic events intertwine until it is impossible to tell what is real and what is sheer madness, yet I never once found myself thinking, "Oh, this could never happen in the real world!"
The Little Stranger should become a classic. I think Sarah Waters is on a par with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens. Definitely check this book out!
